On January 15, Compton’s Personnel Board held a public hearing at Dollarhide Community Center to review requests to temporarily exempt several city positions from civil service rules. The requests originated within City administration and were submitted through Human Resources under the City Charter. Public input was allowed on roles affecting water, finance, legal, and clerk services. Final decisions and reporting timelines were not specified.

The City of Compton is seeking qualified residents to serve on the Charter Review Committee. Members will review the City Charter, gather public input through community meetings, analyze feedback, and prepare formal recommendations for City Council consideration and possible placement on a future ballot. Applicants must be Compton residents and registered voters. Elected officials and City employees, or those closely affiliated with them, are not eligible.
